Pete Wicks, known for his time on Strictly Come Dancing and TOWIE, has often found himself linked to various women since rising to fame. Recently, the 36-year-old star is rumored to be secretly dating Maura Higgins, a former Love Island contestant. Their relationship seemed to be confirmed when they were spotted kissing outside the Broadwick Soho Hotel last month, although neither has officially commented on the speculation.
As the rumors began to circulate, Maura playfully supported Pete at his Staying Relevant tour by wearing a t-shirt featuring their kissing photo, captioned with, “We can’t be friends.” Posing with her arm around co-star Sam Thompson, she shared her excitement about the event on social media, stating, “Hilarious night… you smashed it @samthompson @stayingrelevantpodcast.” This isn’t the first time the two have been romantically linked.

Last year, they were seen getting cozy at London’s Grosvenor House, where their affectionate behavior caught attention. Witnesses noted a passionate kiss, describing it as anything but platonic. A source told The Sun, “Maura and Pete seemed really into each other… they looked totally in love.”
Another indication of Pete’s serious intentions is his expressed desire for marriage and family as he approaches 36. In an interview with The Times, he mentioned, “I want to get married and have kids.” To further stoke the romance rumors, Maura publicly supported him after the release of his memoir, writing simply, “Proud of you.”
